Global single-use bioreactors market is projected to witness a CAGR of 18.06% during the forecast period 2024-2031, growing from USD 3.65 billion in 2023 to USD 13.77 billion in 2031. The single-use bioreactors market is an important part of the healthcare industry, accounting for a significant market size in the healthcare market. Factors such as reduced risk of contamination, technological advancements, increased adoption among startups and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), and advantages over traditional bioreactors drive the market growth.
The market for single-use bioreactors in bioprocessing sector is dedicated to the design, production, and deployment of single-use bioreactor systems for a range of biopharmaceutical and biotechnology uses. These systems reduce the demand for conventional stainless steel bioreactors by offering effective and affordable solutions for cell culture activities including fermentation, protein expression, and cell growth. Biopharmaceutical firms used versatile technology that brought online response to the pandemic, increasing the requirement for quick mass manufacturing of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Single-use systems witnessed huge demand due to coronavirus and the need for large-scale vaccine manufacturing at a fast pace. This led to the expansion of the single-use bioreactors market post pandemic.
In August 2023, Repligen XCell ATF upstream intensification technology was incorporated into Sartorius Stedim Biotech Inc.’s Biostat STR bioreactor as part of an integrated bioreactor system that was introduced by Sartorius Stedim Biotech Inc. and Repligen Corp. A completely compatible embedded XCell ATF hardware and software module that offers pre-defined advanced control recipes with integrated Process Analytical Technology (PAT) has been included in the Biostat STR. A single point of control for 50 L–2000 L upstream intensification processes, developed by the integration of the XCell Controller hardware and software into the Biobrain automation platform, allowing clients to make greater use of their facility space with a smaller equipment footprint.
Single-use Bioreactors Offer Clinical Advantages Over Traditional Bioreactors
When compared to stainless steel bioreactors (SSBs), single-use bioreactors (SUBs) have been demonstrated to significantly reduce water consumption and facility energy use. Disposing of single-use parts, however, presents issues with waste production and possible environmental effects. Single-use bioreactors require less maintenance, have quick setup periods, and are simpler to customize in terms of reactor size and configuration as they provide greater flexibility. In research and development applications, where process development is continuous, and production quantities are low, single-use bioreactors can be useful. Additionally, SUBs have shown to be significantly more helpful in facilities that produce many products and in situations where process flexibility is crucial in terms of quantities and product needs.
